Earbuds made by phone brands usually get a bad rap. Audiophiles often dismiss earbuds from general tech brands, like Samsung, Google, or Apple, in favor of options from legacy audio brands, such as Sony or Bose. That said, I've been impressed by the latest Galaxy Buds, Pixel Buds, and AirPods models. Frankly, the best earbuds for most users are the ones that match their phone brand.
Of the bunch, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro might be the most underrated. In terms of sound quality, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro can hang with the best. They're comfortable, with solid active noise-canceling and an excellent software suite. Although there are a few places where the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could be improved, I'm not excited for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.
